momo Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Van Persie should not be on the pitch. Thug. Cahill is the dirty thug. Got away with a dirty tackle on Martins Indi that should have been a yellow. Then did him again, and should have got a red card. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ponky Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Mr Vlaar taking exception to a bit of diving. Perhaps he could have a word to his mate Robben while he's at it. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8pints Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 My internet is broken so I'm not sure what time I'll get the predictions table up. I've heard a rumour no one is that bothered about it anymore, and everybody just wants to play for fun now, with no one keeping score, so don't worry about it.

Ponky Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Australia just needs a better defense. These 2 guys at CB have only played about 4 matches together. The keeper had been the biggest disappointment for me. Has let in a few he could have saved. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 (edited) Been impressed with Australia over the past 2 games, could have seen them going through if they had an easier group. Edited June 18, 2014 by AVFCforever1991 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villaajax Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 8pints, In response to your earlier question, the score is 3-2. Australia were by far the better team. I've always had a soft spot for Australia and I'd have enjoyed watching that performance against a different team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avfc96 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Austrailia put in a very good display but Van Persie and Robben got Holland through in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KSV Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 we also have Robbie Kruse..Tom Rogic missing in attack and crucially Rhys Williams.. Curtis Good and Trent Sainsbury (three centre backs who would have played if fit). losing Franic in the Chile match didn't help. I'm glad we were competitive. Really proud Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 8pints, In response to your earlier question, the score is 3-2. Australia were by far the better team. I've always had a soft spot for Australia and I'd have enjoyed watching that performance against a different team. The difference was finishing quality I felt. I thought we had a few fantastic chances where we didn't get a shot away because the player knew he couldn't do it and hesitated or made a bad pass. Down the other end we see 3 really good finishes from the chances you did create. Another brave effort from the Socceroos but you don't get anything for being brave. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ponky Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Bittersweet. Thought we could have pinched if we'd got that third goal, but very proud of what is very much a transitional squad. Most definitely not the worst team at this world cup. Hopefully we can back it up and give Spain a run for their money, but without Cahill it will be tough. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Pity the future generations who will listen to us constantly tell them that no WC will compete with Brazil while we stare misty eyed into our pints and reminisce about Van Persie's header and that lady we loved but got away... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
